The latest volume in this popular series focuses on the best ways
to evaluate and improve the quality of new democratic regimes. The
essays in part one elaborate and refine several themes of
democratic quality: the rule of law, accountability, freedom,
equality, and responsiveness. The second part features six
comparative cases, each of which applies these thematic elements to
two neighboring countries: Brazil and Chile, South Africa and
Ghana, Italy and Spain, Romania and Poland, India and Bangladesh,
and Taiwan and Korea.
